MARRIAGE CONVERSATIONS | 14 DAY RELATIONSHIPS CHALLENGE – DAY 10

14 DAY RELATIONSHIP CHALLENGE DAY 10

CHALLENGE: REMEMBER THE FIRST KISS – DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR FIRST KISS? WERE YOU NERVOUS? DID YOU HAVE BUTTERFLIES? TALK ABOUT IT.

I have a sneaking suspicion that you don’t remember the what, when and where of your first kiss with your spouse. Juuust a feeling I have. Why is that? Why is it that there are some things that just seem to fall through life’s cracks. We know they happened because we can remember how we felt, but we don’t remember the tiny details. And that, my friends, is the point of this challenge. I want you to talk about your first kiss, you first date, etc. and drum up those sweet memories and feelings back when skies were blue and bird were chirping. LOL This conversation and resulting good feelings feed your emotional bank accounts, which we should be doing on a regular basis.

PRAYER

Dear God, I pray that this challenge will help our relationships to grow stronger. I ask that you come into our hearts and help us to continue to love our spouses as you command us to. Help us to realize that unlike financial bank accounts, our emotional bank accounts cannot operate in the negative. God we know you are our emotional overdraft protection, but it is not your plan that we should find our marriages in a point of desperation where we are crying out to you for mercy because we did not follow your commands for us. I thank you for hearing this prayer and blessing us. In Jesus’ name. Amen
